Chapter 1010 – 1010. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
Entered Randall Village.
We noticed the anomaly right away. There was not a single person in the village.
I looked around the town slowly. There are about 150 households. The house looks better than most commoners’ houses. It must be because of the interaction with the elven village that there are quite a lot of things to do.
“Looks like they all ran away.”
I said sullenly. If you cast your vision far away, you can see black smoke rising into the sky. The forest is burning, the army is advancing. Even if the target wasn’t himself, the army could be devastating, so the villagers would have run away in fear.
‘In this world, there are no civilian protection and nabal. It’s not uncommon for civilians to be plundered by the military, captured and enslaved.’
Rather, it was natural. Some enlisted in the army for plunder.
Therefore, in the case of ordinary villages, it was common to hear that there was an army nearby and abandon the village and run away. Evacuate to a large and safe city, or hide in a mountain or forest and hold out until the end of the war.
‘Most of them evacuate to the big cities. It’s not like a big city is safe from war.’
I looked at El Noah. El Noah had been looking around the village for a while. Eyes shake anxiously.
“El Noah. Have you forgotten our purpose? We have to get to Beliak Village as soon as possible.”
“Lord, master. Something is strange. The residents of Randall Village I know are not the ones who will abandon their home like this and run away just because the army is coming.”
“There are many cases where even a guy who pretends to be strong usually can’t do anything because he gets flustered when something happens. It will be the same in this case.”
Hunter village.
It seems to be referring to those who hunt in the woods of Polemp. Polemp’s Forest is basically a dangerous place where only 1 out of 10 people survive, but the story will be different if it is a village that maintains a good relationship with Beliac Village.
‘Looking at El Noah’s high regard for them, they’re experts in hunting monsters.’
Monster hunter.
Unlike adventurers and mercenaries, experts who live by hunting only monsters.
‘Monsters and humans are different. What’s the point of being a monster hunter when 12,000 humans are coming? I have no choice but to run away.’
Yuria approached. She quietly inspected her house right next to her.
“Female… , Master. There are household items in the house. There are things I would have taken if I had evacuated.”
“It’s not an escape.”
Elena said softly. Like me, she had little interest in these things.
“… Does that mean you left everything behind? It seems you were in a hurry.”
Elena shook her head.
“That wouldn’t be it. There is no sign of rapid movement. They must have moved somewhere as a group. Yuria. Looking at the house, in your opinion, it must have been empty for a few days?”
YuRia thought for a moment before she spoke.
“If you look at the dust accumulated in the house, about four days… Shall.”
“Four days…. The advance of Vitrasé’s army had begun much earlier. The villagers must have moved for other reasons. A village that interacts with Beliak Village, right? Maybe there are people from this village in Beliak Village.”
“El Noah. Did you hear Elena? Let’s go to Beliak Village. If you go there, you will know why this town has become like this.”
“Yes….”
Elnoah looked at the village with anxious eyes and headed for the forest. I followed her and thought for a moment. This village has been neglected. It is said that there are living items left in the house.
‘Should I go and get it?’
Everything is free. Greed quietly rears its head. And the annoyance came.
‘What are you doing with those things? It’s not even a dwarf thing…. It doesn’t make money My wasted time is more valuable.’
She erased anything about Randall Village from her mind.
Our guide, El Noah, walked and repeated her stops. Each time she opened her eyes sharply and pricked her long ears.
Her curiosity aroused and I asked her.
“How are you going to find your way through this forest?”
“It is using the power of the spirits. You can find your way by listening to the whispers of the land and trees.”
I have no idea what you’re talking about. The spirit’s power is blocked.
‘In Academy’s savior, I’m also a elementalist…. It’s because of the spirit’s eyes (S), and I don’t even know the spirit’s sperm in this world.’
He rolled his eyes to the side of her. Elena’s eyes met. Elena didn’t seem to understand what Elnoah was saying either.
“… I can barely get a feel for it. El Noah, should I go over there by any chance?”
Yuria pointed to her left. El Noah nodded her head in surprise.
“Right. That’s it. How did you know? Perhaps the head maid also has the power of the spirit… ?!”
“How can I explain…. For some reason, I felt that the mana over there was a little different.”
“As expected, the head maid! Great!”
El Noah admired. Of course, I was also impressed. No matter how I look at it, I don’t know. Even using her Cheonan (天眼), she can’t see Mana with her own two eyes.
‘A sensation that only a genius can know… Something.’
Recall the sensation of spending time of genius. Even if my spirituality is not good, I feel like I have increased more than 10 times. If it was Yuria who was born with that feeling, it wouldn’t be impossible to find the path to this forest.
“Ki-yi-i-i-i-i-i-i!”
A 1M-sized bat was hanging upside down on a thick tree and screamed at us. A high-pitched sound reverberates around. I frowned. Ordinary people can die or faint after hearing that high pitched sound, but to us, it’s just unpleasant noise.
“Hey hey hey… Quack!”
The dagger that Yuria threw went deep into her bat’s right eye. She was mortified just like that.
“Hmm. You are coming.”
Elena muttered.
Right after that, clattering sounds are heard from all directions. The sound made by the bat monster that just died is to call out its comrades.
“At least 30 or more. Shall I come out?”
“No. I’ll fix it.”
Even if she had a full recovery, it was better to save Elena’s strength as much as possible. The deeper you go into the forest, the more dangerous monsters will appear. Elena is our trump card.
‘It’s a skill I’ve practiced several times… Let’s call this a brain ball. I’m thinking of making it with Yeongcheon-ryu techniques, but that’s for later.’
Pajik, Pajik.
Blue thunderbolts gathered on the palm of my hand. The thunderbolt rotated slowly to form a sphere. Before the bat fully charged, the brain was lifted up. This time, as he reached level 10 of the thunderbolt characteristic, he was able to remotely control the thunderbolt more easily and precisely.
‘Lightning ball in English.’
Pajijijik! Pajijijik!
Lightning erupted from the brain bulb and began to electrocute and kill bats that charged. In less than 10 seconds, the situation was settled. More than 30 bats were electric roasted and rolled on the floor.
‘Trying to control each lightning bolt takes a lot of concentration. Is there any other way?’
I couldn’t think of a proper way.
“Awesome. It was like seeing magic. Your abilities have improved since the last time I saw you. … Could it be magic?”
“It’s not magic. First of all, I can’t use magic. I have no talent.”
“Well. The technique just now was as good as magic. And you… You think magic is too difficult. Obviously, magic is difficult, but there are many different types of magic. You can also use magic without the hard way.”
Elena’s words spark interest.
Magic.
Unlike the sword, this is the realm of real talent. Even in real life, it is a realm that people without talent cannot see even if they look at it. That’s why I didn’t even think about me without talent. That is, untilheheard what Elena had to say now.
“I am very interested. What is an example of magic that can be used without difficulty?”
“Typically, there is imprint magic. It is a method of imprinting on skin or clothes and consuming mana to activate magic. It has the disadvantage of low power and utility, but it has the advantage of being able to use magic easily. And rune magic. It is difficult to achieve greatness, but the basics are magic that can be easily learned even by injecting.”
“How many years do I have to study rune magic?”
“I don’t know because I didn’t learn. I heard that you can learn the basics in about a year or two.”
Having no talent, I took three years.
During that time, should I hold on to one magic and study it? Reminds me of middle school and high school. At that time, I couldn’t study. Once, I was caught up in my parents’ pocket money strategy and studied each one… Results were not as good as expected. It’s to the point where counting from the back is quicker.
‘At that time, I ran away from home after begging for pocket money, but I was able to get it only after running away.’
With that money, she bought a high-end Ona Hall using her father’s name. It was an ona hole that reproduced the pussy of a popular AV actor at the time. It was a top-of-the-line ona hole that reproduced the buttocks, clitoris, labia minora, and ass hole… I couldn’t even use it.
‘I was scolded for being caught by my dad. Ona Hall is… I don’t know what happened after Dad took it…. I don’t think I threw it away…. Fuck. Thinking about it makes me angry. Didn’t Dad get an onahole NTR?!’
Pudeudeuk. Teeth were split
‘It’s best to respond to NTR with NTR! As…. If you want to NTR your dad, you have to fuck her mom…. No matter how much I think about it, the cock won’t stand as her real mother.’
So the NTR response is giving up.
‘Daddy’s pocket money confiscated for 3 months.’
To finish NTR’s revenge like this. I feel like a really good boy.
“So you decided to learn magic?”
I heard Elena’s words. I suddenly came to my senses and shook my head.
“Done. It’s better to use the sword at that time. If you need magic, you can hire a wizard.”
“You don’t have too much time… ? Well, do it yourself.”
Yuria, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, approached.
“I… Is this what rune magic is?”
Yuria stretched out her finger in the air. The tips of her fingers glowed blue. Characters whose meanings were unknown to her were drawn in the air.
“… It’s runes. Were there runes in this world too?”
“Yuria. Where did you learn it?”
“There is a book in the shadows… I tried it once.”
“Book?”
When I asked back, Yuria showed it with her actions. She had taken the book out of the shadows. I opened her mouth slightly when I saw the title of the book.
The title of the book is ‘Basics of Runes’. There’s nothing wrong with just hearing the name. The problem was that the title was not a character from this world. [Atlantis of God] It is the letter of the world.
‘… YuRia was once summoned to the divine world of Atlantis. Did she get summoned in reverse at that time, keeping her in the shadows?’
Other than that, the presence of that book in her hand is inexplicable.
“…… Did you buy that with the compensation you gave back then? Well, reading runes by self-taught is amazing…. For a moment. Didn’t you say you lost your memory a few months ago?”
Said Elena, surprised.
The language part was fine. Even at the time she lost her memory, Yuria could read and write text. But her knowledge of the runes would have been lost.
“The last time I had nothing to do… I read it once.”
“Have you read it once? Didn’t you study?”
“It wasn’t difficult because it was well organized.”
“…… I knew it, but you’re an outrageous maid.”
Elena shook her head.
It was funny. In my eyes, Elena was also a genius. She thinks that she is a talent that rivals that of a god, especially when it comes to magic. Although her other talents are inferior compared to Yuria.
‘If I use the time of genius… Done. What would a 10-second Dari do?’
We chatted and followed El Noah into the forest. A monster popped out. Most of the time, Yuria moved first to suffocate the monsters, and when a large group of monsters appeared, I stepped in.
As the sun went down, we found a body leaning against a tree. From his clothes and weapons, he looked like a hunter. I saw a drawn face and pale skin. Dark spots were sparsely visible on his skin, and his chest area was covered with dried red blood.
“… Why is the corpse still intact?”
Those were the words YuRia spat while looking at her corpse. I tried to ask what that meant, but I realized where this place was. This is Polemp’s Forest. Monsters and beasts swarm. It is normal for the corpse to enter the stomach of the monster within an hour.
“… I’m thinking of the old days. Yes, something like this happened. …… It’s going to be a pain in the ass.”
Elena groaned.
“Do you know what this is?”
“Monsters and beasts have excellent instincts. You know it instinctively. That this is meat you can’t eat. And don’t you feel it when you see the black spots on this skin? It is a plague.”
Elena raised her head. About two beats later, she spoke again.
“A pestilence has spread through this forest.”
